Discover the story of the song > Every Year – A Gun That Shoots Knives

Sometimes it's okay to feel sad because it helps us appreciate the good things in life. Waiting for our birthday makes the joy when it finally comes even better. It's also good that we don't know everything because it means we can still be surprised. If we knew everything, we wouldn't be able to feel amazed or excited. Each year, we grow and become stronger, like holding our breath for longer or running straighter. The things that make life special are the contrast between light and dark, and the little moments in between. If we close our eyes really fast, we won't see anything at all. Death is sad, but if we love someone, they stay with us in our hearts. It's important to hold onto our childhood friends because they are the ones who will always be there for us. And even if a friendship ends, there will always be a chance for a new one to take its place. Each year, we grow a little more, become a little stronger. We can do things we couldn't before. It's like a movie screen - the shadows and light create the image, but it's the moments of nothing in between that make it magical. If we blink our eyes really fast, it's like we're not seeing anything at all.
